Hi guys, Thanks for all the helpful advice. In the end I decided to put the binary in /usr/local/bin/ and the data in /var/quote/.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to package it with scripts to do the mkdirs etc and I'll have gone through the process of making an linux app from start to finish. I think some of you have pointed me in the right direction with that. [Chris] > btw, Are there any superior features of your work over and above those found > in the "fortune" package? No, unfortunately not. As many of you realized this was simply coding for the sake of coding. A learning experience to go through the process, so to speak.
